What Methods?

So very true, and WAY TOO time consuming if I might say so.

Hahaha yeah I know what you mean. You try using one particular CPA offer and create a landing page for it, and consider buying targeted traffic for it? Instead of all the hassle of PPC you can just order targeted traffic for your niche. I know people do PPC but for me thats too confusing and time consuming, I'm not quite there yet. I just broke down and bought targeted traffic and tested small amount, got a lot of clicks and decent leads. If your interested you can see the link in my signature. This is just how I do my CPA offers. Best regards.

Also I know that Kensters WSO has many methods used just for CPA offers, very top notch. He gives a lot of different ways to go about CPA offers. Hope this helps aswell.

No problem. Just remember when your making bank I get 10% haha jk. Search how to be a CPA millionaire, thats his thread.

Here you go, BR LASSE.

Excellent WSO from Kenster.

Thanks Lasse, I didn't know how to do that.

Hi Sean,

Kenster's guide is excellent, worth every penny.

You will discover most of the huge earners in CPA are using a lot of PPC and other paid traffic to get their offers in front of people.

Free methods you can consider include YouTube videos, article marketing, classified ads (with caution and AM approval), Social networking, and even offline methods.

The biggest determining factor is going to be your resources. If you have plenty of capital, and are willing to risk some while learning PPC, it is probably your best bet, but plan for initial losses. (Not personal experience, but statements from experienced CPA guys.)

If you are in my shoes, and don't wish to invest or risk much money for now, then using a combination of free traffic methods is ideal. Once you build up some consistent income then you can venture into PPC.

I am working with YouTube Videos, Article Marketing, and blogs to work on my traffic streams. Since this is a little longer term strategy I am choosing markets which will have continued offers so as offers disappear I can easily rotate new ones in.

I am not doing any direct linking, everything heads towards my blogs, or my own domain names, so I can easily change the offers.

Barry has some spot on advice here.

Free traffic is great because

#1 its free
#2 many free methods will bring you continued traffic forever. Once you put a video up or submit an article, it stays "out there" for a long time
#3 it teaches you how to be extra creative.
#4 teached you all the basics of any IM campaign. Teaches you copywriting, traffic generation, how to build a landing page, testing, tracking

And as Barry also states, its great to set up a home base. In his case its a blog. Then you can get organic traffic (again, free) and can easily change and test offers!


Sean if you have any specific questions about free traffic generation, write them here....there are very helpful warriors here!

Sean, You can buy inexpensive .info domains and do redirects for your articles.

Example: For a dating offer you could get - seanshotdatingtips.info
You then point all of your articles at this domain, which is setup to redirect to the offer. If the offer changes, you simply change the redirect to point to the new offer.

Second point on Article Marketing - most directories do allow direct linking to offers.

Personally I still would not direct link to the offers, because then you would need to go back and change the articles resource boxes. It is much easier to buy a cheap domain name and do the redirects.

Investing a couple dollars to promote an offer is pretty inexpensive. One mistake on PPC will cost you much more.

The biggest problem with article marketing will be the time you invest in creating and bookmarking articles. It is a time intensive method of promotion.

Anything and everything!! It can't hurt to diversify!

You make a good point.

I think the best results come from looking at people who are doing well in other verticals, other offers, other keywords etc and using those in your campaigns. So you are using the best of the best from everywhere!

At the end of the day, I would rather take a look at the result of other peoples testing than to spend thousands myself in testing!!!!

Good post!

Social, Media Buys, Contextual

I think this is the most lucrative business but you need to be creative. Don't stick with one method because it might be a goldmine now but once its uncovered not so much. So in my opinion try to have as many methods as you can. Its like having only one source of income once its gone you have nothing else. On the other hand if you had more than one source of income they would substitute for each other.

i havn't read everything on this thread but as far as CPA goes, I'd say you've gotta use different methods because what works for one thing, might not work for another!

If you can get a decent amount per lead and the landing page is good then PPC is a good option to take, just make sure you try split testing your ads to see which work the best.

Youtube - it's good but sometimes you need a high amount of views to get a conversion, just depends how targetted your video is - make sure you use screen annotations, and edit you're video, (maybe put you're link up on the video at the end, so you're not relying on people reading the description box)

Articles can work for very targetted niches, for example if you can get your article (ezine articles is a good place) to rank in google for something with not a lot of competition, then that would work!

Press Releases too I s'pose! :-)

btw I'm no expert, just know that it's pointless sticking with 1 method, gotta test and test and see what works

I was using paid traffic and I like it purely because the result was instantaneous. I don't like it because of the daily cash flow issue (obviously, I was running on a tight budget). I had some success with the paid method -- CPV/PPV.

Recently, I am getting myself prepared to use SEO, building niche/authority sites. I am going to use the cash generated from my SEO effort, to invest into the paid method.

With the free method, it's not going to cause me much more money than the paid method do. But the result could be a bit slower.

Like Kenster said, diversifying is one of the key points in the CPA industry.

All the best...

Mainly setup wordpress pages for landing sites.

For the blogging portion, I use it at the back. Automated blogging software to post every day for the SEO part. You won't be able to find any posts on the main site.

There are lots of methods to make money with CPA offers , but my 3 biggest once are PPC , PPV and Media Buys.
